Description
The coordination of group behavior in the social insects is representative of a broader phenomenon in nature, emergent biological complexity. In such systems, it is believed that large-scale patterns result from the interaction of relatively simple subunits. This dissertation involved the study of one such system: the social foraging of the ant Temnothorax rugatulus. Physically tiny with small population sizes, these cavity-dwelling ants provide a good model system to explore the mechanisms and ultimate origins of collective behavior in insect societies. My studies showed that colonies robustly exploit sugar water. Given a choice between feeders unequal in quality, colonies allocate more foragers to the better feeder. If the feeders change in quality, colonies are able to reallocate their foragers to the new location of the better feeder. These qualities of flexibility and allocation could be explained by the nature of positive feedback (tandem run recruitment) that these ants use. By observing foraging colonies with paint-marked ants, I was able to determine the `rules' that individuals follow: foragers recruit more and give up less when they find a better food source. By altering the nutritional condition of colonies, I found that these rules are flexible - attuned to the colony state. In starved colonies, individual ants are more likely to explore and recruit to food sources than in well-fed colonies. Similar to honeybees, Temmnothorax foragers appear to modulate their exploitation and recruitment behavior in response to environmental and social cues. Finally, I explored the influence of ecology (resource distribution) on the foraging success of colonies. Larger colonies showed increased consistency and a greater rate of harvest than smaller colonies, but this advantage was mediated by the distribution of resources. While patchy or rare food sources exaggerated the relative success of large colonies, regularly (or easily found) distributions leveled the playing field for smaller colonies. Social foraging in ant societies can best be understood when we view the colony as a single organism and the phenotype - group size, communication, and individual behavior - as integrated components of a homeostatic unit.

Description
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by progressive autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells. Genetic, immunological and environmental factors contribute to T1D development. The focus of this dissertation is to track the humoral immune response in T1D by profiling autoantibodies (AAbs) and anti-viral antibodies using an innovative protein array platform called Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Array (NAPPA).
AAbs provide value in identifying individuals at risk, stratifying patients with different clinical courses, improving our understanding of autoimmune destructions, identifying antigens for cellular immune response and providing candidates for prevention trials in T1D. A two-stage serological AAb screening against 6,000 human proteins was performed. A dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2) was validated with 36% sensitivity at 98% specificity by an orthogonal immunoassay. This is the first systematic screening for novel AAbs against large number of human proteins by protein arrays in T1D. A more comprehensive search for novel AAbs was performed using a knowledge-based approach by ELISA and a screening-based approach against 10,000 human proteins by NAPPA. Six AAbs were identified and validated with sensitivities ranged from 16% to 27% at 95% specificity. These two studies enriched the T1D “autoantigenome” and provided insights into T1D pathophysiology in an unprecedented breadth and width.
The rapid rise of T1D incidence suggests the potential involvement of environmental factors including viral infections. Sero-reactivity to 646 viral antigens was assessed in new-onset T1D patients. Antibody positive rate of EBV was significantly higher in cases than controls that suggested a potential role of EBV in T1D development. A high density-NAPPA platform was demonstrated with high reproducibility and sensitivity in profiling anti-viral antibodies.
This dissertation shows the power of a protein-array based immunoproteomics approach to characterize humoral immunoprofile against human and viral proteomes. The identification of novel T1D-specific AAbs and T1D-associated viruses will help to connect the nodes in T1D etiology and provide better understanding of T1D pathophysiology.

Description
For interspecific mutualisms, the behavior of one partner can influence the fitness of the other, especially in the case of symbiotic mutualisms where partners live in close physical association for much of their lives. Behavioral effects on fitness may be particularly important if either species in these long-term relationships displays personality. Animal personality is defined as repeatable individual differences in behavior, and how correlations among these consistent traits are structured is termed behavioral syndromes. Animal personality has been broadly documented across the animal kingdom but is poorly understood in the context of mutualisms. My dissertation focuses on the structure, causes, and consequences of collective personality in Azteca constructor colonies that live in Cecropia trees, one of the most successful and prominent mutualisms of the neotropics. These pioneer plants provide hollow internodes for nesting and nutrient-rich food bodies; in return, the ants provide protection from herbivores and encroaching vines. I first explored the structure of the behavioral syndrome by testing the consistency and correlation of colony-level behavioral traits under natural conditions in the field. Traits were both consistent within colonies and correlated among colonies revealing a behavioral syndrome along a docile-aggressive axis. Host plants of more active, aggressive colonies had less leaf damage, suggesting a link between a colony personality and host plant health. I then studied how aspects of colony sociometry are intertwined with their host plants by assessing the relationship among plant growth, colony growth, colony structure, ant morphology, and colony personality. Colony personality was independent of host plant measures like tree size, age, volume. Finally, I tested how colony personality influenced by soil nutrients by assessing personality in the field and transferring colonies to plants the greenhouse under different soil nutrient treatments. Personality was correlated with soil nutrients in the field but was not influenced by soil nutrient treatment in the greenhouse. This suggests that soil nutrients interact with other factors in the environment to structure personality. This dissertation demonstrates that colony personality is an ecologically relevant phenomenon and an important consideration for mutualism dynamics.

Description
Emerging pathogens present several challenges to medical diagnostics. Primarily, the exponential spread of a novel pathogen through naïve populations require a rapid and overwhelming diagnostic response at the site of outbreak. While point-of-care (PoC) platforms have been developed for detection of antigens, serologic responses, and pathogenic genomes, only nucleic acid diagnostics currently have the potential to be developed and manufactured within weeks of an outbreak owing to the speed of next-generation sequencing and custom DNA synthesis. Among nucleic acid diagnostics, isothermal amplification strategies are uniquely suited for PoC implementation due to their simple instrumentation and lack of thermocycling requirement. Unfortunately, isothermal strategies are currently prone to spurious nonspecific amplification, hindering their specificity and necessitating extensive empirical design pipelines that are both time and resource intensive. In this work, isothermal amplification strategies are extensively compared for their feasibility of implementation in outbreak response scenarios. One such technology, Loop-mediated Amplification (LAMP), is identified as having high-potential for rapid development and PoC deployment. Various approaches to abrogating nonspecific amplification are described including a novel in silico design tool based on coarse-grained simulation of interactions between thermophilic DNA polymerase and DNA strands in isothermal reaction conditions. Nonspecific amplification is shown to be due to stabilization of primer secondary structures by high concentrations of Bst DNA polymerase and a mechanism of micro-complement-mediated cross-priming is demonstrated as causal via nanopore sequencing of nonspecific reaction products. The resulting computational model predicts primer set background in 64% of 67 test assays and its usefulness is illustrated further by determining problematic primers in a West Nile Virus-specific LAMP primer set and optimizing primer 3’ nucleotides to eliminate micro-complements within the reaction, resulting in inhibition of background accumulation. Finally, the emergence of Orthopox monkeypox (MPXV) as a recurring threat is discussed and SimCycle is utilized to develop a novel technique for clade-specific discrimination of MPXV based on bridging viral genomic rearrangements (Bridging LAMP). Bridging LAMP is implemented in a 4-plex microfluidic format and demonstrates 100% sensitivity in detection of 100 copies of viral lysates and 45 crude MPXV-positive patient samples collected during the 2022 Clade IIb outbreak.

Description
An insect society needs to share information about important resources in order to collectively exploit them. This task poses a dilemma if the colony must consider multiple resource types, such as food and nest sites. How does it allocate workers appropriately to each resource, and how does it adapt its recruitment communication to the specific needs of each resource type? In this dissertation, I investigate these questions in the ant Temnothorax rugatulus.
In Chapter 1, I summarize relevant past work on food and nest recruitment. Then I describe T. rugatulus and its recruitment behavior, tandem running, and I explain its suitability for these questions. In Chapter 2, I investigate whether food and nest recruiters behave differently. I report two novel behaviors used by recruiters during their interaction with nestmates. Food recruiters perform these behaviors more often than nest recruiters, suggesting that they convey information about target type. In Chapter 3, I investigate whether colonies respond to a tradeoff between foraging and emigration by allocating their workforce adaptively. I describe how colonies responded when I posed a tradeoff by manipulating colony need for food and shelter and presenting both resources simultaneously. Recruitment and visitation to each target partially matched the predictions of the tradeoff hypothesis. In Chapter 4, I address the tuned error hypothesis, which states that the error rate in recruitment is adaptively tuned to the patch area of the target. Food tandem leaders lost followers at a higher rate than nest tandem leaders. This supports the tuned error hypothesis, because food targets generally have larger patch areas than nest targets with small entrances.
This work shows that animal groups face tradeoffs as individual animals do. It also suggests that colonies spatially allocate their workforce according to resource type. Investigating recruitment for multiple resource types gives a better understanding of exploitation of each resource type, how colonies make collective decisions under conflicting goals, as well as how colonies manage the exploitation of multiple types of resources differently. This has implications for managing the health of economically important social insects such as honeybees or invasive fire ants.

Description
According to the World Health Organization, cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world. Although early diagnostics using biomarkers and improved treatments with targeted therapy have reduced the rate of cancer related mortalities, there remain many unknowns regarding the contributions of the tumor microenvironment to cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. The tumor microenvironment plays a significant role by manipulating the progression of cancer cells through biochemical and biophysical signals from the surrounding stromal cells along with the extracellular matrix. As such, there is a critical need to understand how the tumor microenvironment influences the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis to facilitate the discovery of better therapies. This thesis described the development of microfluidic technologies to study the interplay of cancer cells with their surrounding microenvironment. The microfluidic model was used to assess how exposure to chemoattractant, epidermal growth factor (EGF), impacted 3D breast cancer cell invasion and enhanced cell motility speed was noted in the presence of EGF validating physiological cell behavior. Additionally, breast cancer and patient-derived cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) cells were co-cultured to study cell-cell crosstalk and how it affected cancer invasion. GPNMB was identified as a novel gene of interest and it was shown that CAFs enhanced breast cancer invasion by up-regulating the expression of GPNMB on breast cancer cells resulting in increased migration speed. Lastly, this thesis described the design, biological validation, and use of this microfluidic platform as a new in vitro 3D organotypic model to study mechanisms of glioma stem cell (GSC) invasion in the context of a vascular niche. It was confirmed that CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling is involved in promoting GSC invasion in a 3D vascular microenvironment, while also demonstrating the effectiveness of the microfluidic as a drug screening assay. Taken together, the broader impacts of the microfluidic model developed in this dissertation include, a possible alternative platform to animal testing that is focused on mimicking human physiology, a potential ex vivo platform using patient-derived cells for studying the interplay of cancer cells with its surrounding microenvironment, and development of future therapeutic strategies tailored toward disrupting key molecular pathways involved in regulatory mechanisms of cancer invasion.

Description
The flexibility and robustness of social insect colonies, when they cope with challenges as integrated units, raise many questions, such as how hundreds and thousands of individual local responses are coordinated without a central controlling process. Answering such questions requires: 1. Quantifiable collective responses of colonies under specific scenarios; 2. Decomposability of the collective colony-level response into individual responses; and 3. Mechanisms to integrate the colony- and individual-level responses. In the first part of my dissertation, I explore coordinated collective responses of colonies in during the alarm response to an alarmed nestmate (chapter 2&3). I develop a machine-learning approach to quantitatively estimate the collective and individual alarm response (chapter 2). Using this methodology, I demonstrate that colony alarm responses to the introduction of alarmed nestmates can be decomposed into immediately cascading, followed by variable dampening processes. Each of those processes are found to be modulated by variation in individual alarm responsiveness, as measured by alarm response threshold and persistence of alarm behavior. This variation is modulated in turn by environmental context, in particular with task-related social context (chapter 3). In the second part of my dissertation, I examine the mechanisms responsible for colonial changes in metabolic rate during ontogeny. Prior studies have found that larger ant colonies (as for larger organisms) have lower mass-specific metabolic rates, but the mechanisms remain unclear. In a 3.5-year study on 25 colonies, metabolic rates of colonies and colony components were measured during ontogeny (chapter 4). The scaling of metabolic rate during ontogeny was fit better by segmented regression or quadratic regression models than simple linear regression models, showing that colonies do not follow a universal power-law of metabolism during the ontogenetic development. Furthermore, I showed that the scaling of colonial metabolic rates can be primarily explained by changes in the ratio of brood to adult workers, which nonlinearly affects colonial metabolic rates. At high ratios of brood to workers, colony metabolic rates are low because the metabolic rate of larvae and pupae are much lower than adult workers. However, the high colony metabolic rates were observed in colonies with moderate brood: adult ratios, because higher ratios cause adult workers to be more active and have higher metabolic rates, presumably due to the extra work required to feed more brood.

Description
In many social groups, reproduction is shared between group members, whocompete for position in the social hierarchy for reproductive dominance. This
reproductive conflict can lead to different means of enforcing reproductive differences,
such as dominance displays or limited control of social hierarchy through antagonistic
encounters. In eusocial insects, archetypal colonies contain a single, singly-mated fertile
queen, such that no reproductive conflict exists within a colony. However, many eusocial
insects deviate from this archetype and have multiply-mated queens (polyandry), multiple
queens in a single colony (polygyny), or both. In these cases, reproductive conflict exists
between the matrilines and patrilines represented in a colony, specifically over the
production of sexual offspring. A possible outcome of reproductive conflict may be the
emergence of cheating lineages, which favor the production of sexual offspring, taking
advantage of the worker force produced by nestmate queens and/or patrilines. In extreme
examples, inquiline social parasites may be an evolutionary consequence of reproductive
conflict between nestmate queens. Inquiline social parasitism is a type of social
parasitism that is usually defined by a partial or total loss of the worker caste, and the
“infiltration” of host colonies to take advantage of the host worker force for reproduction.
It has been hypothesized that these inquiline social parasites evolve through the
speciation of cheating queen lineages from within their incipient host species. This “intra-
specific” origin model involves a foundational hypothesis that the common ancestor of
host and parasite (and thus, putatively, the host at the time of speciation) should be
functionally polygynous, and that parasitism evolves as a “resolution” of reproductive
conflict in colonies. In this dissertation, I investigate the hypothesized role of polygyny in the evolution of inquiline social parasites. I use molecular ecology and statistical
approaches to validate the role of polygyny in the evolution of some inquiline social
parasites. I further discuss potential mechanisms for the evolution and speciation of social
parasites, and discuss future directions to elucidate these mechanisms.

Cancer autoantibody biomarker discovery and validation using nucleic acid programmable protein array
Description
Currently in the US, many patients with cancer do not benefit from the population-based screening, due to challenges associated with the existing cancer screening scheme. Blood-based diagnostic assays have the potential to detect diseases in a non-invasive way. Proteins released from small early tumors may only be present intermittently and get diluted to tiny concentrations in the blood, making them difficult to use as biomarkers. However, they can induce autoantibody (AAb) responses, which can amplify the signal and persist in the blood even if the antigen is gone. Circulating autoantibodies is a promising class of molecules that have potential to serve as early detection biomarkers for cancers. This Ph.D thesis aims to screen for autoantibody biomarkers for the early detection of two deadly cancer, basal-like breast cancer and lung adenocarcinoma. First, a method was developed to display proteins in both native and denatured conformation on protein array. This method adopted a novel protein tag technology, called HaloTag, to covalently immobilize proteins on glass slide surface. The covalent attachment allowed these proteins to endure harsh treatment without getting dissociated from slide surface, which enabled the profiling of antibody responses against both conformational and linear epitopes. Next, a plasma screening protocol was optimized to significantly increase signal to noise ratio of protein array based AAb detection. Following this, the AAb responses in basal-like breast cancer were explored using nucleic acid programmable protein arrays (NAPPA) containing 10,000 full-length human proteins in 45 cases and 45 controls. After verification in a large sample set (145 basal-like breast cancer cases / 145 controls / 70 non-basal breast cancer) by ELISA, a 13-AAb classifier was developed to differentiate patients from controls with a sensitivity of 33% at 98% specificity. Similar approach was also applied to the lung cancer study to identify AAbs that distinguished lung cancer patients from computed-tomography positive benign pulmonary nodules (137 lung cancer cases, 127 smoker controls, 170 benign controls). In this study, two panels of AAbs were discovered that showed promising sensitivity and specificity. Six out of eight AAb targets were also found to have elevated mRNA level in lung adenocarcinoma patients using TCGA data. These projects as a whole provide novel insights on the association between AAbs and cancer, as well as general B cell antigenicity against self-proteins.

Description
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor affecting adults, is characterized by an aberrant yet druggable epigenetic landscape. The Histone Deacetylases (HDACs), a major family of epigenetic regulators, favor transcriptional repression by mediating chromatin compaction and are frequently overexpressed in human cancers, including GBM. Hence, over the last decade there has been considerable interest in using HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) for the treatment of malignant primary brain tumors. However, to date most HDACi tested in clinical trials have failed to provide significant therapeutic benefit to patients with GBM. This is because current HDACi have poor or unknown pharmacokinetic profiles, lack selectivity towards the different HDAC isoforms, and have narrow therapeutic windows. Isoform selectivity for HDACi is important given that broad inhibition of all HDACs results in widespread toxicity across different organs. Moreover, the functional roles of individual HDAC isoforms in GBM are still not well understood. Here, I demonstrate that HDAC1 expression increases with brain tumor grade and is correlated with decreased survival in GBM. I find that HDAC1 is the essential HDAC isoform in glioma stem cells and its loss is not compensated for by its paralogue HDAC2 or other members of the HDAC family. Loss of HDAC1 alone has profound effects on the glioma stem cell phenotype in a p53-dependent manner and leads to significant suppression of tumor growth in vivo. While no HDAC isoform-selective inhibitors are currently available, the second-generation HDACi quisinostat harbors high specificity for HDAC1. I show that quisinostat exhibits potent growth inhibition in multiple patient-derived glioma stem cells. Using a pharmacokinetics- and pharmacodynamics-driven approach, I demonstrate that quisinostat is a brain-penetrant molecule that reduces tumor burden in flank and orthotopic models of GBM and significantly extends survival both alone and in combination with radiotherapy. The work presented in this thesis thereby unveils the non-redundant functions of HDAC1 in therapy- resistant glioma stem cells and identifies a brain-penetrant HDACi with higher selectivity towards HDAC1 as a potent radiosensitizer in preclinical models of GBM. Together, these results provide a rationale for developing quisinostat as a potential adjuvant therapy for the treatment of GBM.
